That us the nature of the boards 😞 They function as help boards for people with questions and problems.
When everything goes smoothly, like they do 99.9% of the time, we don't hear about it.
My sales are good, my buyers are good ... my transactions have been hassle free and glitch free.
That's boring LOL 😉

Agreed. We all need postive. I sure do. Complaints and negativity become an unhealthy habit. I like to try to remember what one of my old college professors used to say: We are all free to disagree, but none of us are free to be disagreeable.
This is just a small thing but it meant a lot to me. A couple of months ago, I noticed that the username for one of my buyers seemed familiar so I checked and I had indeed made a sale to her more than a year earlier. And then I recalled that it had been a difficult transaction. Oh no. But I also recalled that I had kept my cool back then and had handled things as pleasantly as possible. After I shipped the item, I left feedback thanking her for being a return buyer. That's when she sent me a message thanking me and saying that she had come back to buy again because I had been so nice about everything the first time. Nice pays off.....it's just a matter of seeing where to draw the thin line between nice and proper business. I expect I'll see her username in my sales again one day.
Thats a good one. A repeat customer shows that you know what you are doing. And a good seller. Karma.
Happy customers is a very positive Thing. Hope your sales pick up.

However, the thin icing on the cake is I received several new feedback entries over the past few days so my customers seem happy at least! Hopefully this week sales will pick up again.

Small seller since 2007, and have had 99.9 % nice buyers. When I had one numpty buyer, I came here and received lots of great help on how to fix it.
Most of the time, I guess we post for help when there is a problem. My business is slow right now, but I attribute it to putting my store on vacation for some health related problems and surgery. Prior to the last two months, I was averaging $800 - $1,000 a month, a real help to supplementing my income. So YES, I have some good news. Best!
Hope your surgery goes well. Positive thoughts(((((((((
Thanks for shareing
